MTLNOVEL Chapter 226: Charging into the Heavenly Road to Slay God
Storming the Heavenly Road, slaying the Gods.
Since ancient times, no one had dared to do such a thing. Chen Pingping was the first, and not only that, he succeeded. With his formidable strength, he slashed "the God" from the Heavenly Road, sending him tumbling down.
Youming let out continuous screams of agony. His body was overrun by an aura of death, and he was eager to cover his face, not wishing to reveal his abject state to others.
But Chen Pingping launched another Sword Slash, shattering that layer of haze. Youming's contorted features became clearly visible: empty pupils, a greenish skin tone, and not the slightest resemblance to a God. He looked more like a terrifying evil spirit.
Countless cultivators were stupefied, involuntarily recalling what Chen Pingping had said before: this was not any Great Opportunity at all, but a horrendous conspiracy. No one had believed it. Now, they saw "the God" at the end of the Heavenly Road, ghastly like a malevolent spirit, chilling them to the core.
AAAAHHHH!
The screams persisted, never ceasing.
Chen Pingping kept attacking. Sword Slash after Sword Slash landed on Youming's body, snuffing out his life and suppressing his Divine Soul, giving him no chance for resistance.
This scene was truly terrifying.
About ten minutes later, the life within Youming had finally been drained. His Divine Soul grew dim, teetering on the edge of extinction.
"Human... Clan... cultivator..." Youming spoke with difficulty, his voice deep and hoarse, carrying a chill as if emerging from the depths of hell.
He was laughing. Despite blood oozing from all over his body, his smile was ceaseless, appearing grim and horrific. His pair of hollow eyes seemed to reflect another world: the Netherworld...
"I said I would slay you," Chen Pingping said. He had many reasons: Zi Ji, the Power of Curse within Chen Shixian, and ending the conspiracy that was the Heavenly Road.
A thought arose.
SHLICK!
The mighty first general of the Ming Tribe, claimed to be the invincible one below the Saint, thus fell by Chen Pingping's hand, filled with immense frustration.
At this moment, his condition was poor and his life force depleted. He couldn't muster even one-ten-thousandth of his peak combat strength. Otherwise, how could Chen Pingping have humiliated him like this?
On the Heavenly Road.
The geniuses of yesteryear were all holding their breath, daring not to breathe too loudly. How powerful was Youming? They knew better than anyone because they had been suppressed by Youming for far too long, instilling a deep-rooted fear in their hearts. Yet now, the powerful Youming had been slain by Chen Pingping. The process was chilling to the bone.
The Moon God smiled, thinking, I am leaving. If fate allows, we will meet again. If not... then, in the next life!
According to the original plan, Youming would emerge from the Heavenly Road to suppress the Yuan Knight, and the Moon God would launch an attack from the Human Clan to slay Princess Zi Ji. Only, the Yuan Knight fell prematurely, which came as a surprise to both of them. Without the Yuan Knight's protection, killing Princess Zi Ji would have been easy, but they never expected they would also have to deal with Chen Pingping.
The plan had to proceed as before: Youming would suppress Chen Pingping while the Moon God would slay Princess Zi Ji in the Human Clan.
Unfortunately, Chen Pingping was not an easy target. He had actually forced his way into the Heavenly Road and even struck Youming down. With that, the plan could be declared a failure.
The Moon God's concern for him naturally dissipated.
Most importantly, without Youming, no one will know what happened here. The Yuan Knight perished alongside Youming, and Princess Zi Ji embarked on her cultivation path—I was unable to kill her alone... Yes! That will be my explanation to the Nether King.
As for the Heavenly Road, and these Human Clan geniuses who were once cursed and drained of life by Youming, the Moon God had no intention of letting them leave here alive. The truth about the Heavenly Road, as well as her relationship with Chen Pingping, would have to be forever buried here.
BOOM...
The Moon God cast a spell, shifting the constellations and permanently closing the entrance to the Heavenly Road.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't… little girl, don't go! Let's talk," Chen Pingping exclaimed, turning around.
The Moon God whispered, "Goodbye."
The geniuses standing on the Heavenly Road were all dumbfounded. They only now remembered to flee, but alas… the passage was permanently closed, and they could only watch helplessly.
...
Is it over? So quickly! The Heavenly Road, which opens only once every three hundred years, ended just like that... It turned out the legendary God was an evil spirit. How terrifying!
Since the opening of the Heavenly Road, not even ten hours had passed. From the moment Chen Pingping made his move until now, it had merely been two or three short hours.
Charging through the Heavenly Road, slaying the God.
Every time they recalled this scene, they all felt suffocated.
What Golden Age? This is Chen Pingping's age! What Great Opportunity? This is Chen Pingping's opportunity! He's too strong!
Diwu Qingrou, who had taken action just moments ago, took a deep breath, as if he were in a dream. I used the Power of the Great Tao and the Dharma Principle from the Heavenly Road, becoming the first to enter King Tao, yet I foolishly harbored the thought of defeating Chen Pingping. Truly ignorant of life and death! Thinking back now, he was drenched in cold sweat.
Saint Heirs, Saintesses, Zhou Wu, and other peerless geniuses all tensed up, watching Chen Pingping. For a moment, they didn't know what to say.
"He's too strong," Liu Changqing sighed softly, murmuring. "With him around, none of us have a chance at Tao Verification."
"Yes!" Alan said helplessly. "He has overturned the Heavenly Road and slain the God. What else can stop him?"
Time passed.
With the fall of Youming, the Power of Curse he had cast naturally unraveled. Chen Shixian woke up in bed.
What caught her eye were Zi Ji and Hongxiu.
The latter spoke in a leisurely tone, "You're awake?" She did not think highly of Chen Shixian, considering her inferior; she had not even broken through to King Tao yet. Does such a Divine Body even count?
"Where's Chen Pingping?" Chen Shixian ignored her, looking towards Zi Ji.
"Senior Brother said he's going to kill the God!" Zi Ji said earnestly.
Huh? Chen Shixian was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly got up and rushed outside.
Kill the God? What kind of joke is that? This bastard, always making people worry!
However, when she arrived, she saw the battlefield, the slain Youming, and the gazes of everyone fixed on Chen Pingping.
Chen Shixian suddenly connected many thoughts. Her eyes widened in shock as she asked, "You... you didn't actually...?"
Heh heh! Chen Pingping grinned. "The God? See him?" He pointed at Youming.
My heavens, it's true! This guy actually slew a God!
Chen Shixian caught her breath. "Are you injured?"
"No!" Chen Pingping answered.
"Then... did the Holy Lands make a move?" Chen Shixian asked.
What kind of question is that? The nearby Saint Heirs and Saintesses, as well as the lurking powerhouses from the Holy Lands, were rendered speechless. Chen Shixian's words were offensive. After all, our Holy Lands are superpowers, sacred places of cultivation in the hearts of countless cultivators! Would we really stoop to attacking Chen Pingping while he battled Youming? Absolutely not! Well... although, we did harbor such thoughts.
Chen Pingping smiled. "They didn't dare!"
The Holy Land faction: "..."
"And the Heavenly Road?" Chen Shixian asked again.
"It ran away." Mentioning this, Chen Pingping couldn't help but feel annoyed. I should have slain Youming on the Heavenly Road. That way, I could have also stopped the Moon God from escaping. Damn it! Woman, you just wait!
